40 And when he came to the place he said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 "Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."

44 And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground ." (Luke 22)

40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.“ (Matt 26)

When Jesus told Mary “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father”, it was not a matter of being touched, but of being clung to, i.e., Mary did not want to let Jesus go. Jesus assured her that he was going to be around for a while [would be 40 days before he ascended – Acts 1:3]

Matthew 28:9

Spir -8

And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

Points:

Context: vv. 1-8 the women had come to the tomb to minister to the dead body, but found none, since the tomb had been opened and the Lord risen (per the angel’s words); as they left to tell the disciples, they were met by the resurrected Jesus…

God has called and chosen faithful men and women from all ages to be part of the Bride of His Son; it is as individuals (yet being together in the united body) that they will glorify their Lord (Heb 11, Rev 7:9-12);

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:’The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens’.(Rev 3:7 cf. Is 22:22 and the connection with promises to David)

Revelation 1:18

Spir -11

and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

“keys ofDeath & Hades” alludetothefact that Jesus has conquered Death, first for himself, and ultimately, for all his followers (Acts 2:24, 1Cor 15:26,54); the idea traces back to the seed-of-Abraham promises who willpossess the gate of his enemies (Gen 22:17)

Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet from your brethren as he raised me up. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you (Acts 3:22) = Jesus

And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people(Acts 3:23)= us

Assurance

To enjoy God’s glorious promises in the Kingdom of God believers will be given a spiritual body:

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godlinessthrough the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature(2Pet 1:3-4)

There is a ________ body (current human make-up) and a ________body (future make-up of the faithful).

Because Jesus was the ___-_____ from the dead, his new body would be like that of those who would be raised to eternal life at his coming and judgment. Their mortal nature would put on _________ and their corruptible nature would put on __________.

The resurrected Jesus was recognized as himself (although with a glorious body) and invited others to ______ him and to _____ with him.

God glorified and __________ His servant Jesus when He raised him from the dead. This was irrefutable testimony or ________ provided by God that Jesus was who he claimed, namely, the Son of God.

36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear mewitness that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me…

39 You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; (John 5)

24 So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." 25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me; 26 but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. (John 10)

Witnesses for Jesus’ credibility

35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. 36 And they were all amazed and said to one another, "What is this word? For with authority and powerhe commands the unclean spirits, and they come out." (Luke 4)

7 And when they [Pharisees] had set them [the apostles] in the midst, they inquired, "By what power or by what name did you do this?“ …[Peter answers] 10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that bythe name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well. (Acts 4)

Extension of Jesus’ power

9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, [individuals] from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes [badges of life & redemption in Christ] with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!" (Revelation 7)

7…"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever." … "We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign. 18 The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints,… (Revelation 11)

The faithful rewarded when Jesus returns as King

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation;16 for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. 19 For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven,making peaceby theblood of hiscross(Colossians1)

17 Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come (2 Corinthians)

in an ethical sense, that which concludes to the souls safety or salvation

salvation as the present possession of all true Christians

future salvation, the sum of benefits and blessings which the Christians, redeemed from all earthly ills, will enjoy after the visible return of Christ from heaven in the consummated and eternal kingdom of God

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure. 10 For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit.. (Psalm 16)

22 But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment… and whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire. (Jesus in Matt 5) [Greek = Gehenna, refers to the garbage dump and its ongoing burnings of things & dead objects cf. Is 66:24,5:25]

Supplemental Reference Material #10a

Hell: Hades, Sheol and Gehenna

The King James Version uses the word “hell” to describe a place or state which is popularly understood to be a place of fire and torment for wicked people. An examination of the actual Hebrew and Greek words involved reveals a very different picture. A couple of examples illustrate:

Hell is the place of the future punishment call "Gehenna" or "Gehenna of fire". This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future destruction

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit [i.e., teacher, prophet] which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,3 and every spirit which does not confess Jesus[elipis: has come in the flesh] is not of God. This is the spirit ofantichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.(1John 4)

7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledgethe coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward. 9 Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son. (2Jn)

Thus, there were many men, antichrists, who had left the church and were promoting this false teaching (cf. 1Jn 2:18-22). They and their teaching were to be repudiated (cf. 2Jn 10-11)
